The cocky, unfunny, ultra right-wing psuedo patriot (who lives in Dubai) has been declared bankrupt. Is this the first time he has made anyone laugh?

[Dizzieblonde]

He lives in Dubai?! Well I never! I thought he was forever espousing the qualities of Britain? :oO

[LeedsRhinos]

1st time he has ever made me laugh. Just got back from the hospital where I have had the split in my sides sewn back up.

[mccfluff]

thank god i thought i was the only one who found him unfunny and tasteless, all my friends thinks he's some kind of demi god and i could never understand why

[littleoldme]

Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" person. I was surprised he lives in Dubai - I'd have thought there'd be too many foreigners over there for him.

[beejaybee]

I also find him a funny, witty comic.Always have since I first saw him on that talent show. He has worked hard for the forces charity though.

[nantyboy]

Johnson's saying "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" springs to mind.

[Haggisdj]

Saw him live in 1979... he was brilliant !!!

[electricblue]

I said on another thread about him that piers were built for him to get him as far out into the sea as poss so he didnt upset any more people,he is a sad,pathetic little man,now may he go stick his head up his ar$e and never bother anyone again!!

phisical imposibility, but if any help is required cosider me an eager volunteer. I don't wish ill on anyone earning an honest crust, and if he's got a place in Dubai then O.K. , he deserves it. What realy bothers me is the fact that a signifficant percentage of the population actualy find him entertaining! A manic clown with a toilet for a mind and a grid for a mouth???!!! How does his inimitable (thank God) "humour" stand against the likes of Tommy Cooper, Billy Connoly, Jack Dee, Ricky Jervais and loads and loads of others?; he just doesnt hold a candle!
I blame who ever it was told him he was funny.
I just think he's strange and I always feel strangely guilty, or embarrased, whenever I happen upon his onscreen "performances." Takes all sorts 'though, it's O.K.

[Grunty]

I was interested to see the opinions of beejaybee and Haggisdj. Which of them is Jim Davidson's Mum?

[Sphinx_Svens]

I seen him live too ...years ago ...fantastic.

Anyhow, just because you're declared bankrupt, doesn't mean you have no money ... who's laughing now

[Sphinx_Svens]

People didn't slag off George Best when he died, but he was the biggest drunk and womaniser ever ...

[taff1949]

how can you put down jim davidson for having a toilet humour and then defend that foul mouthed connelly

[beejaybee]

All comedians can be very foul mouthed, but the majority are only like this when doing adult only shows. Some comedians are geared at adults only. If someone doesn`t like swearing, sexists jokes etc., don`t watch them. There`s an off button on your remote.

[taff1949]

i have no problems with swearing,in fact i,m pretty good at it.my issue was with the hypocracy of the guy going on about davidson, and dont be so childish quoting the old tv on off switch routine

[Grunty]

When the BBC makes that crack about the on/off switch, my ambition is to stand in the Diirector General's house in front of his family and quote the filth from one of his programmes. He can always ask me to leave.

[dantheman123]

When his son was young didn't Jim Davidson go into his son's room and say "This is what happens when you mess with my stuff" and smash the place up? Also he was a wifebeater.

[dyli795]

Yes but George Best had a sense of humour !
